After the rebirth, I divorced the scumbag

On New Year's Eve, the old man gave all the servants in the family a holiday, and he took Xia Zimu and Lu Jinghao to make all the preparations for the New Year by himself.

The old man respects the tradition, and there are many window grilles for the gate gods of the door couplets. Xia Zimu accompanied Xia Zhengguo to hang the door couplets and cut the window grilles, and was busy all morning.

Throughout the morning, Xia Zhengguo kept talking about those old-fashioned stories.

Xia Zimu and Lu Jinghao listened quietly, spending time with the old man slowly.

In the afternoon, the two went into the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and the old man sat on the lawn in the garden with Samo in his arms, basking in the sun.

The weather forecast says it will snow tonight, and since three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has been hiding behind the clouds.

The old man led the dog and dragged the chair, walking unhurriedly into the house.

Seeing him struggling to drag the chair back, Xia Zimu immediately walked to the entrance, moved the chair he was dragging behind her, and couldn't help but mutter: "Grandpa, Shi Yan and I are at home, why didn't you call us when you moved things? You just came out of the hospital a few days ago, if something happens again..."

Xia Zimu babbled a few words, but Xia Zhengguo didn't feel annoyed at all, with a smile on his face, "Mumu, you really look more and more like your grandma, and she keeps nagging me too.

"I used to learn how to cut window grilles from her. If I cut a wrong corner, she would always say that I am..."

As he said that, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, "I used to think she was nagging, but now that she's gone, I miss her a little bit."

When mentioning the deceased grandma, Xia Zimu felt a little sad.

Her uncle and aunt were all sent to prison by her, and Xia Qingyang and Xia Nianwei also went to other places to wander.

Only she and grandpa were left in the Xia family.

Lu Jinghao saw that the grandpa and grandson were not moving at the door, so he came over and took a look, "The chair is heavy?"

As he asked, he lifted the chair up.

He thought Xia Zimu was standing here because he couldn't move the chair.

"No." Xia Zimu quickly came out of his depressed mood, "I'm chatting with grandpa, let's go in."

Xia Zhengguo was busy with a lot of work today. She sent the old man back to his room to rest. After going downstairs, Lu Jinghao had already returned to the kitchen.

He stood by the cooking table with a cool and handsome face, holding a silver knife in his hand.

The cuff buttons of his gray turtleneck sweater were rolled up to the elbows, and the smooth muscle lines on his forearms stretched and tightened as he chopped vegetables, as if hiding full explosive power.

He was busy in silence, Xia Zimu just stood aside and looked at him, feeling at ease in his heart.

She walked over and hugged his waist from behind.

Lu Jinghao didn't stop chopping vegetables, and said in a flat voice, "Why are you so attached to me all of a sudden?"

"Just hug me, where are you clinging?" Xia Zimu pressed his cheek against his warm and broad back, his voice was a little loose, "Shi Yan, you will always be with me, right?"

When she finished speaking, Lu Jinghao's body tensed for a moment, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Just now my grandpa mentioned about my grandma. I miss her a little bit. And my parents." Xia Zimu's arms holding him slowly tightened, "Shi Yan, shall we go to get the certificate next month?"

She wanted to find a rope to tie him.

A spiritual rope.

Tie him up firmly and don't let him run away.

Lu Jinghao was silent for a while, but did not respond.

Xia Zimu sensed something was wrong and went around to him.

She ducked under his arm, stood between him and the cooking table, looked up at him, "Why don't you talk?

"You don't want to get a certificate with me?"

She thought that between them, this matter should be a matter of course, and they can go at any time.

Now his silence made her feel uneasy.

Lu Jinghao noticed her uneasiness, and comforted her softly: "I just didn't react for a while.

"I can go any day you want."

Xia Zimu grasped the point of his words precisely, "What do you mean I want to, don't you want to?"

Lu Jinghao lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

From her perspective, she couldn't see the melancholy hidden in his eyes.

"I want, too."

He has been thinking about this matter for many years.

It's just that he has other scruples in his heart now...

"Since we want to, let's go get the certificate next week."

Lu Jinghao laughed, "Isn't it next month?"

"Suddenly changed my mind."

"Okay, let's discuss it with grandpa tonight."

After this matter was settled, Xia Zimu felt a lot better, and helped to cook the New Year's Eve dinner together.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Xiaoyuan came to Xia's house.

The new year abroad is not today, so he did not go back to reunite with his family.

Xia Zimu went to pick up the person at the gate, and Mo Xiaoyuan handed her a red envelope with the word "囍" printed on it, and said in an indifferent voice, "It was agreed yesterday."

Xia Zimu didn't accept a thin red envelope.

"Mimo's equity?"

"No."

Hearing this, Xia Zimu just took the red envelope, opened it, and inside was a seven-digit check.

The amount was not too large, Xia Zimu reluctantly accepted it.

The two returned to the house.

When entering the door, Xia Zimu faintly heard someone talking in the room.

Walking inside, I saw Lu Jinghao just finished a phone call.

He was wearing a dark gray woolen sweater, black trousers, and a heavy coat on his arm, as if he was about to go out.

Xia Zimu asked, "Going out?"

Lu Jinghao unfolded his coat and put it on, said "Hmm", and continued: "There is something wrong with the company, and I need to go and deal with it."

Xia Zimu was puzzled: "Isn't your company all on holiday?"

Lu Jinghao paused, and said: "Some important positions are open all year round, and they are dealing with the problem now.

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back before eight o'clock."

Xia Zimu didn't want him to leave very much, but it must be a serious matter for him to leave in such a hurry, and she had no position to stop him.

She urged: "Come back early when it's over."

Lu Jinghao nodded, bypassed the two of them, and left the room.

Mo Xiaoyuan glanced at Lu Jinghao's leaving back, his handsome brows frowned.

"Mr. Mo."

Hearing Xia Zimu calling him, Mo Xiaoyuan turned his head.

Xia Zimu asked: "Can you cook?"

Mo Xiaoyuan has never cooked before.

But in front of his sister, he still chose to say yes.

He has always been a quick learner. Although he has never cooked, he has seen Mu Qing cook.

It should be no problem to draw a ladle according to the gourd.

Two 10 minutes later.

Xia Zimu poured out a pot of burnt fish soup.

"Mr. Mo, my grandfather is upstairs watching TV right now, are you going to accompany him?"

"……also."
